Over the past year, we have supported the ZIGChain ecosystem with risk management, observability, and cross-chain intelligence. Today, we are extending that commitment by participating directly in consensus.

ZIGChain is a high-performance blockchain designed to support scalable DeFi, cross-chain liquidity, and application-layer innovation. With hundreds of millions in total value locked (TVL) and a growing ecosystem of dApps and infrastructure providers, ZIGChain continues to establish itself as a serious multi-chain liquidity hub.

While we previously built infrastructure for ZIGChain, we now help secure it.

This step aligns with our broader mission: strengthening blockchain security through intelligence and delivering institutional-grade web3 security across ecosystems.

From infrastructure to consensus

Before launching our validator, Range built and operated infrastructure that gave us deep visibility into ZIGChain’s activity. In partnership with zeroShadow, we supported ZIGChain’s security and operational monitoring, strengthening the network’s resilience at the infrastructure layer.

Through our ZIGChain Network Intelligence Explorer and Cross-Chain Explorer, we analyzed transaction flows, monitored liquidity movements, and exposed onchain data to ecosystem teams.

Operating at the intelligence layer provided direct insight into how the network functions in practice - across users, applications, and bridges.

As part of that work, we:

• Indexed and analyzed ZIGChain transactions in real time

• Tracked cross-chain liquidity inflows and outflows

• Monitored wallet behavior and counterparty relationships

• Delivered API access for developers and product teams

Validating is a natural next step. After understanding the network’s transaction patterns and ecosystem dynamics in depth, participating in consensus helps align infrastructure and operations.

Validation backed by observability

Validator operations benefit from context. Our prior work indexing ZIGChain and tracking cross-chain activity means we approach validation with full ecosystem awareness.

Range’s validator infrastructure is supported by:

• Real-time monitoring and alerting

• Cross-chain transaction visibility

• Risk screening and anomaly detection capabilities

• Redundant, infrastructure-grade deployment

Blockchain security today extends beyond node uptime. Assets move across ecosystems, liquidity shifts quickly, and risk can propagate through bridges and interoperability routes.

By combining blockchain explorer intelligence with validator participation, we contribute operational stability informed by real-time data.

Strengthening ZIGChain's security layer

Range operates security and intelligence infrastructure used across major blockchain ecosystems. Our tools secure over $30B in onchain assets and are trusted by teams including Solana Foundation, Circle, Noble, Stellar, and Osmosis.  

Range’s Cross-Chain Explorer tracks activity across 300+ chains, bridges, and interoperability protocols. This unprecedented level of cross-chain intelligence enables us to identify abnormal liquidity flows faster, perform context-aware risk analysis and provide better incident investigation support.

Bringing this experience to ZIGChain strengthens:

• Validator diversity and decentralization

• Institutional confidence in network infrastructure

• Ecosystem-wide monitoring standards

• Cross-ecosystem visibility

Blockchain security increasingly requires cross-chain awareness. By combining consensus participation with cross-chain observability, Range contributes to ZIGChain's resilience in a multi-chain landscape.

A long-term commitment

Our validator launch reflects long-term alignment with ZIGChain's growth.

We will continue to:

• Improve explorer coverage and analytics

• Expand monitoring capabilities

• Support developers through APIs and security tooling

• Contribute operationally to network stability

Range now operates on ZIGChain at both the intelligence and consensus layers. Together, these layers reinforce a single objective: secure, transparent, and resilient blockchain infrastructure.

If you are a ZIGChain token holder, consider delegating to Range. If you are building on ZIGChain and need blockchain security or cross-chain observability tooling, book a demo with our team.
